2. Cristiano Ronaldo (Juventus)

The five-times player of the year award and top scorer of Champion League will be one of the most attractive players to pick in the UCL fantasy league.

Cristiano Ronaldo priced at a stunning amount of €12 million which is the highest among all the forwards in the league. His influence cannot be understated, so much so that when he moved to Italy, Juventus became the favorites to win Europe's premier club competition., However, his recent red card against Villareal means it is likely that he will miss the next two games against BSC Young Boys and Manchester United.

Juventus which is at the top of the table looks favorite to qualify for the knockout rounds, which means that Ronaldo, along with his new club will make a deep run into the tournament. Juventus will be up against Young Boys in the next group stages match.

1. Lionel Messi (Barcelona)

The number one on the list is Lionel Messi who recently scored a hat trick in the opening game of Barcelona against PSV Eindhoven. Messi's price tag is at €11.5 million which is slightly less than Cristiano Ronaldo in the UCL fantasy league. Leo Messi 's dribbling ability and vision still remain unmatched in Europe and the Argentine will rack up lots of points this season.

Barcelona had a great start to the Champion league against PSV Eindhoven with a thumping win of four goals to nil. They will face Tottenham in the next match of their group stages matches which represents a tricky opponent however, the Catalans have a strong enough squad to be able to overcome them.
